The Crab Sex Position

Corner Cowgirl Sex PositionFast Fuck Sex Position

I'd only recommend the Crab sex position if your man has a decent amount of penile flexibility, since you'll be bending his penis pretty far back once you're seated on him. Some couples are better off skipping this one and sticking with other sex positions from our guide.

In a lot of ways, the Crab resembles Cowgirl, with you kneeling on top facing your man as he lies on his back. The key difference is that instead of staying relatively upright, you lean far back. Stretch your hands out behind you for support, and have your man keep his legs together.

In this position, his penis presses against the upper wall of your vagina far more than it would in regular Cowgirl or Asian Cowgirl.

Her Role In The Crab Position

In the Crab, you'll be leaning far back, using your hands behind you on the bed for support. When first settling into this position, ease yourself backward slowly to avoid accidentally overstraining your man's penis.

Once you're set, gently rock your body up and down using your arms and legs. You can also grind by rocking your hips forward and backward — again, start slow to avoid injuring your man.

His Role In The Crab Position

Your man's main job here is honest communication. He needs to speak up right away if he feels too much pressure on his penis. Once he's comfortable, he can lean into it more, thrusting back into you, or if you're grinding, grabbing your hips to help guide your movement.

To support you, he can raise his legs slightly and bend his knees, giving you something to rest part of your weight on besides just your hands.

Things To Consider When Performing The Crab Sex Position

Since the Crab is fairly easy to slide into from regular Cowgirl, plenty of students have given it a try. Here's some of the feedback I've collected.

• Better Safe Than Sorry: Ease into this one gradually with your man. Sex shouldn't hurt either partner, so make sure he's pain-free from the start. Sex shouldn't be painful.
• Your man can help control how far back you lean using his legs.
• You might find more pleasure by mostly grinding and rotating your hips on top of him rather than doing full in-and-out motion. This can deliver excellent clitoral stimulation.

Sean's Thoughts On The Crab Position

The Crab is definitely a bit more exotic than most of the positions I cover (into wilder positions? Try these!), but it can feel incredible for anyone who loves G-spot stimulation. The trick is dialing in the right depth and angle for maximum pleasure.
